Britney Spears can still make hearts skip a beat

Britney Spears X Factor 2012
Britney Spears is still making headlines and is constantly appearing in front of us which makes her one of the most resistant stars ever.During the era where Britney Spears ruled the charts there were many bands that broke up or gave up on singing but Britney spears still has a long way to go.I am sure me along with a few of her fans will not complain at all.The more the better is what i say.This "Baby one more time" Hit maker has appeared in X factor and gets emotionally involved with all of her contestants which shows the drive she has within herself and her passion for music.Yes its true she is now a little old compared to the time when she ruled the charts but is more beautiful then ever.She has had her ups and downs in life but has always come back strongly and communicated with her fans through her music.Almost all of her albums were loved and were chart toppers.Her albums include the following.

Assassin's Creed 4 may release next year

Assassin's Creed III game front cover


Just as we were feasting on Assassin's Creed III there are reports that the next installment of the game can come as early as next year.It is apparently known that  The Gaming Liberty has obtained a survey that asks fans what they would like to see in the next installment.

The survey asks questions from the players on Assassin's Creed III, to know which feature they enjoyed or did not enjoy at all.It was further asked how would the players like to be helped through a friend to help them solve a puzzle.Lastly,Players were asked about their views of buying the game if it was to be released next year.

This news is just wow..I have not even started playing AC3.Multiplayer will be a great addition to the game.
